Hi all Happy new year and all that, if it's your particular new year. I think it's time we all moved to a sane calendar system. Famous people are still dropping like flies ...R.I.P. Om Puri. It looks like the British queen may be joining him in due course. There's a small lineup this week as people head back home and back to school. First up is the animated Ballerina, which is opening here three months ahead of the USA. And then there's the first of the expected heavy hitters for the Oscars, in the form of Manchester by the Sea. It will be joined by Lion on 20 Jan, La La Land on 27 Jan, and Moonlight on 10 Feb (so you can plan your schedule... :-) ) Please note that there is a problem with the showtimes for Ballerina at SK venues, they had a problem with their feed and did not differentiate between the 2D and 3D versions. We hope to have this fixed by later today. So please check with the cinemas first to see which version they have. Also please check my comments in the FPB block on Manchester by the Sea regarding the language.

Please avoid drinking tea. I discovered this last night, I had 14 beers till 3am at the pub while my wife was just drinking tea at home. You should have seen how violent and angry she was when I got home. I was peaceful, silent and headed to bed as she shouted at me, all night and even into the next morning. Please ladies, if you can't handle your tea, don't drink it... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why Some Men Have Dogs And Not Wives 1. The later you are, the more excited your dogs are to see you. 2. Dogs don't notice if you call them by another dog's name. 3. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor. 4. A dog's parents never visit. 5. Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across. 6. You never have to wait for a dog; they're ready to go 24 hours a day. 7. Dogs find you amusing when you're drunk.. 8. Dogs like to go hunting and fishing. 9. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, "If I died, would you get another dog?" 10. If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper and give them away. 11. A dog will let you put a studded collar on it without calling you a pervert. 12. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don't get mad. They just think it's interesting. 13. Dogs like to ride in the back of a pickup truck. And last, but not least: 14. If a dog leaves, it won't take half of your stuff. To test this theory: Lock your wife & your dog in the garage for an hour. Then open it and see who's happy to see you! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up to heaven he said, 'Lord take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish Whiskey!' Miraculously, a parking place appeared. Paddy looked up again and said, 'Never mind, I found one.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paddy was in New York . He was patiently waiting and watching the traffic cop on a busy street crossing. The cop stopped the flow of traffic and shouted, 'Okay, pedestrians..' Then he'd allow the traffic to pass. He'd done this several times, and Paddy still stood on the sidewalk. After the cop had shouted, 'Pedestrians!' for the tenth time, Paddy went over to him and said, 'Is it not about time ye let the Catholics across?' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gallagher opened the morning newspaper and was dumbfounded to read in the obituary column that he had died. He quickly phoned his best friend, Finney. 'Did you see the paper?' asked Gallagher. 'They say I died!!' 'Yes, I saw it!' replied Finney. 'Where are ye callin' from?' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Women should not have children after 35. Really... 35 children are enough. Shopping tip: You can get shoes for 85 cents at bowling alleys. After all is said and done, usually more is said than done. I am a nobody. Nobody is perfect. Therefore, I am perfect. I married my wife for her looks... but not the ones she's been giving me lately! No one ever says, "It's only a game," when their team is winning. I gave my son a hint. On his room door I put a sign: "CHECKOUT TIME IS 18" "If carrots are so good for the eyes, how come I see so many dead rabbits on the highway?" Why do we choose from just two people for president and 50 for Miss America?" Ever notice that people who spend money on beer, cigarettes, and lottery tickets are always complaining about being broke and not feeling well? On my first day of school my parents dropped me off at the wrong nursery. There I was... surrounded by trees and bushes. Why is it that most nudists are people you don't want to see naked? I earn a seven-figure salary. Unfortunately, there's a decimal point involved. The next time you feel like complaining, remember: Your garbage disposal probably eats better than thirty percent of the people in this world. Snowmen fall from Heaven unassembled. My wife and I were happy for twenty years .... then we met. Home is where you can say anything you like 'cause nobody listens to you anyway. I live in my own little world, but it's ok, they know me here. Sign in pet store: "Buy one dog, get one flea..." If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the 'terminal'? I see your IQ test results were negative. Regular naps prevent old age..... especially if you take them while driving.
